I’d say you’re correct this new addition does not change much to the previous incentives that exist in manipulating comment visibility, but that’s not the point of this new addition, so not a negative of this update.

Disagreed on replacing the “should also” part because it reminds you this is only hypothetical and not actually good behaviour.
